Hi! I wanted to propose that the article on Les larmes de l'émigration be merged into this article, as all of the information in that article is contained within this article, while there is some information in this article that wouldn't belong in that article (namely, biographical information). If anyone has any thoughts on whether this merger should go through or not, please let me know below. Thanks! Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 20:49, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak oppose. The film could be described in more detail, in which case we could be looking at splitting the articles again. Rencontrer mon père may also deserve its own article, and perhaps Tribunal du Fleuve. Both should certainly be given more complete treatments. Presumably there will be more works. If the person and film articles are kept separate, it will be easier for them to evolve naturally. A merge would also lose the connection from Category:Senegalese films.

    • @Aymatth2: I know nothing about these films except what that one Africultures reference said. As to treatments of films, I'm pretty sure that I've seen film directors' pages with brief synopses of the films that they produce on their biographical pages, so we could probably do the same on Diago's article. Now, I do see a good deal of potential citations for Diago and/or his movies from a quick Google Search, so it's possible that Diago and/or one or more of his movies pass Wikipedia's notability guidelines, but I'd need to do more research on that (as it's quite possible that the citations—which are in a language that I can't read—are no good), and I barely even had the time to type up this reply. If someone other than myself determines that there are indeed enough good citations for one or more of the films, though, I'd happily support them staying as their own separate; however, if there aren't enough, I still think that this merger should go through if possible.
